Description of activity:
Students analyse the storyboard for The Dolphin and then generate three storyboards for an animation sequence which compares the past stewardship of the Aboriginal custodians and the sustainability of their practices with the present care of the local environment to determine what is required to manage the local environment. They evaluate each storyboard and select one for development as an animation.
Context:
This is an assessment activity in a unit of work on animation comparing the past stewardship of the Aboriginal custodians and the sustainability of their practices with the present care of the local environment to determine what is required to manage their local environment. Students imagine they are time travellers who journey into the past to investigate the land of their local area. Students have researched their local area and have developed skills in the use of animation software such as gif animator or pivot. The storyboards will be included as part of their portfolio.
